    Not quite the same but Tilquin varietals have/are hitting Milwaukee. Mure, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Would love Drie to come here as well!

    For someone completely unaware. If I have an opportunity to pick some/any of this up, what should I grab?

    I usually go with the thickest part of the bottle, but I guess it really depends on your hand size.

    Depends on what your budget is ... if you can, grab one of each, they're all well worth it.

    Armand & Gaston hit Milwaukee as well. Discount had it yesterday at 19.99/375, 37.99/750. Also had Apple Brandy Noir. Not often that shelton graces us lowly small market folks with this kind of stuff.

    Binny's Grand has a good amount of kriek, geuze, and the cuvee, and they also have some 750mL and a few magnums ($90 each, I think).

    Argh, I hate that Beechwood hides this shit from the rest of us that aren't Ray's or Discount.

    This sounds about the same cost (give or take a few bucks) as I remember seeing & paying out in Oregon last summer. I was shocked to see it just sitting in a cooler in Eugene of all places, let alone no one else reacting to it. Glad to see it's making its way out east, now we just need Minny to be next up on the list because I don't think any of you are going to let it sit on shelves until Thanksgiving. :sunglasses:

    When I visited the Bay Area this summer, this stuff was EVERYWHERE. I too was stunned.

    A&G has been a shelf turd here for a while on MI. It is by far my favorite lambic but that $18/375ml price point is indeed unfortunate for regular consumption.

    Picked up Hommage at Binny's DG this afternoon. It looked like they had all of the other bottled available too.

    Are these beers meant to age or are we good to go whenever?

    Thanks. I couldn’t think of anything to put on the Do Right Facebook page the other day so I made this instead. Quality content for a page I’ll probably ignore.

    It’s been over 10 years now, if they were gonna give me one they would have done it by now :stuck_out_tongue:
